Chapter 151

Zhang Yan naturally didn't know about the conversation between Liu He and Guo Jia. After he returned to the Shangdang, he started a secret operation. He called all his confidants over, made some secret entrustments, and then started Pack your bags and get ready for the night out.

Although Zhang Yan is very loyal to his brothers, he is not that kind to the soldiers under his command. He is even cruel at times, so he will not hesitate to kill the spies who concealed the information and did not report it. die.

Therefore, he who wanted to escape for his life would naturally not care about the life and death of those ordinary soldiers.

Of course, despite this, in order not to be too embarrassed, Zhang Yan decided to take away thousands of the most elite people in the camp, and in order to deceive others, he even used the name of leading the army to carry out night raids and rob Liu He's camp , After leaving the city, he fled all the way north, went to Taiyuan, and gathered troops to deal with Liu He together.

After making careful arrangements, Zhang Yan announced with great fanfare that he would lead his troops to rob the camp at two o'clock on the third night after the night visit to Liu He's camp, and took away [-] elite soldiers in the city. The family members were also sent to the grain truck within these two days and quietly escorted to Taiyuan.

"I wish the commander-in-chief a victory, and he will succeed soon." The Heishan army general Sun Qing and deputy Wang Dang who were left behind as the main generals in the city didn't know Zhang Yan's real purpose at all. So I admire the desperate behavior of Zhang Yan and others, and toast them before departure.

"Haha, please don't worry, we will definitely win this time." Although these two people were local bandit chieftains who took refuge later, they were not Zhang Yan's former subordinates at all, but seeing each other's sincere toast, Zhang Yan He also felt a little guilty in his heart, so he drank the wine bowl in one gulp, but solemnly said: "If we really can't come back from this battle, as long as we stick to it for three days, I will not surrender even if you surrender." Blame you. Well, all that needs to be said is over, let's go."

Zhang Yan threw the wine bowl to the ground, got on his horse, raised his spear, and led his army out of the south gate.

After Zhang Yan and others led the army out of several miles, they immediately ordered the whole army to turn north and go directly to Taiyuan along the main road.

When he had just left Shangdang City, Zhang Yan also asked the soldiers to advance carefully, for fear of causing any trouble, and for the safety of the army, he personally led the elite to cut off the rear.

However, when he came to the main road, he saw that there was no danger on the way, so he immediately felt relieved and led the army to the forefront, leading the army to Taiyuan with all its strength.

Although Sun Qing and the others were allowed to guard for three days and then surrender, Zhang Yan knew that with Sun Qing's troops, they would not be able to defend even for half a day, not to mention three days. If they catch up, even if they can reach Taiyuan smoothly, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan immediately came to the front of the team after feeling that his side was safe, and led the army to prepare to rush to Taiyuan.

However, sometimes things are so unbelievable. Not long after he was completely relieved, he saw a drumbeat coming from the dense forest not far ahead, and then heard the sound of piercing through the air, and the crossbow arrows were like flying locusts. The general shot over, and after the soldiers who were caught off guard suffered this attack, hundreds of people immediately turned over and fell off their horses.

Although only hundreds of people died, the rest of the soldiers panicked and ran around on their horses, ignoring Zhang Yan's shouts, so countless people were trampled and killed.

"Commander, let's go." At this moment, Du Chang, the general under Zhang Yan's command, led hundreds of people to the front, protecting Zhang Yan and going out.

But unexpectedly, the enemy infantry who surrounded them were extremely powerful. Although they all tried their best to break through, they still couldn't break through the enemy's encirclement. The enemy caused minor casualties of more than a dozen people.

"Hey, what kind of army is this? Why is it so powerful? Even if Yuan Shao's most elite infantry entered the camp first, they probably wouldn't have such a strong combat power, would they?"

Seeing that his side suffered heavy casualties but still had no hope of successfully breaking through, Du Chang couldn't help but wryly smiled and murmured.

But seeing Zhang Yan's complexion turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Liu He's team that came. Hmph, it's really hard for us to say who is the most elite team in the world, but here it is hundreds of miles away, can With such an elite army, it must be Liu He, so it seems that I want to rush to Taiyuan now, but I still haven't escaped his plan."

"Ah? So it turned out to be Liu He's team! Since that's the case, Commander, leave us alone. With your skills, it's not difficult to escape in this dark night. Commander, let me put on your armor , go first!"

"No, Du Chang, how can I give up my brother? If we want to leave, we will go together, if we want to stay together, I can't go." Hearing Du Chang's words, Zhang Yan shook her head resolutely, and said in a deep voice.

But Du Chang said anxiously: "Marshal, how can you be arrogant at this time? If you don't leave, you will die in vain. What's the use? Keeping the green hills here will not worry about no firewood. Only when you leave, our death will be justified." valuable!"

After Du Chang finished speaking, he started to take off Zhang Yan's armor. Zhang Yan had no choice but to sigh and let Du Chang take off the armor. With this kind of affection, after returning to Taiyuan, I will definitely treat your family members kindly, treat your parents as my own parents, and raise your children as my children. Die badly! Also, I will remember this hatred, and when I feel Taiyuan, I will definitely gather my brothers from the Black Mountain Army to come back, capture Liu He alive, kill him with my own hands, and avenge you all!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan moved lightly, dodging left and right among the chaotic army, jumping vertically and horizontally, and quickly disappeared on the battlefield under the cover of night.

"Kill, capture Zhang Yan alive!"

"Zhang Yan, you are surrounded now, there is no way to escape, you should surrender."

"As long as you surrender, I can guarantee that these people under your command will not die!" This was Liu He's voice. He believed that under his own heavy siege, not even a fly could fly over, let alone a big living person like Zhang Yan. , What's more, Liu He had already seen Zhang Yan wearing a helmet and sitting on a horse. If he could let him slip away under his nose, he would be really embarrassed.

But I didn't expect the man to smile immediately: "I'm sorry, Liu Shijun, I made you laugh, my commander-in-chief has already left."

"What? I fell into his golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell! Alas, it would be great if Jia Xu was here, and he would be able to see through his scheme, but it's a pity that today's success fell short, and Zhang Yan ran away." Liu He sighed and said secretly. pity.
